Principles of connection -based training
Emotional Awareness: Recognizing the emotional state of both the horse and rider is crucial. This awareness encourages attunement to nuances in body language and energy levels, ensuring interactions are productive and sincere.
Listening and Communication: Training emphasizes dialogue rather than dictation. By listening we can interpret responses that resonate with the horse, operating in an environment where both athletes feel heard and empowered.
Trust Building: Establishing a foundation of trust is essential for a great relationship with your horse. Exercises are designed to strengthen this bond— groundwork and positive reinforcement— build trust and confidence as your horse learns.
Holistic Approach: This incorporates physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of training. By addressing the whole horse, we can tailor our unique approach to individual needs; fostering a well equipped and more engaged equine partner.
Adaptability: Each horse is unique, and requires respect and flexibility in technique.
